Class Procedures and Reminders
Assignment Stack. Much to my own surprise, I got through the Stack on Friday, so I was able to read and reply to all the assignments turned in before Friday. As always, you can check the stack to make sure I received your Project assignment; I'll be updating the stack periodically over the weekend. To get comments back sooner rather than later, turn in your assignment today — if you wait until Sunday to do that, you'll have a longer wait for comments back from me.
Scheduling: For those of you who are consistently finishing your work during the grace periods after the deadlines, I would urge you to try to rein in your schedule and work ahead of the deadlines. That way, the grace period will be available for real emergencies. If you treat the grace period as your deadline, that means you won't have room to maneuver if a real emergency does come up. You might find it helpful to review this advice about Creating Your Own Class Schedule.
